La mission de l'Institut des sciences agronomiques (IAS) est de promouvoir la création et la diffusion de connaissances sur les écosystèmes agronomiques et leurs interactions complexes entre l'environnement et la société humaine, cela permet de relever les défis actuels et à venir et d'assurer la durabilité à long terme de la production agricole et ses systèmes alimentaires pour répondre aux besoins humains.
With the Master's ceremony on April 19, 2024, a total of 109 graduates of ETH Zurich's Agricultural Sciences and Food Science study programs celebrated their successful graduation.
Organisms exposed to consistent interactions across generations often coevolve to optimize their coexistence. This occurs between plants and pollinators or hosts and parasites. However, it is not known if plants coexisting over multiple generations in a community evolve to avoid competition and boost individual fitness. A study conducted by Anja Schmutz and Christian Schöb at the Agricultural Ecology group at ETH Zurich tackles this question.
Plants with multiple sets of chromosomes have advantages over their relatives with a double set. But why they often start out infertile was only partially understood. Biologists at ETH Zurich have now discovered a new reason for the initial difficulties.
Michaela Jung, a postdoc in a joint project of the Fruit Breeding Group at Agroscope and the Molecular Plant Breeding Group at ETH Zurich, has been awarded the Professor Albert Soenen Prize for her doctoral thesis. She developed genomic approaches that make apple breeding more efficient. The award ceremony will take place on 12 June 2024 in Belgium.
